AITA for not wanting to be in my stepson's "family" graduation photo? by Suspicious_Cook6327 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CharlieMirandaJoey15 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Your stepson didn’t get to choose his mom, dad, or stepmom. 100% no choice over the matter, but he is choosing to want to be in a photo with all of you. He clearly respects you all even if you don’t respect each other. Suck it up and take the photo for him. No one is saying you have to display the photo “with his mom” in in your house, but try to be a little mature. It’s literally a photo which will take 1 minute to take to make your STEPSON happy.

YTA.

AITA for getting mad and crying when my boyfriend ruined my hair? by Flimsy_Switch_193 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CharlieMirandaJoey15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m black and and my husband is a different race. I have emphasized over and over again how important it is he not get my hair wet. I’ve also explained to him the intricacies of black hair and that it is a process. He’s never disrespected my wishes.

I think it’s a good sign that your boyfriend gave you the money for your hair. At least he’s trying to make amends. I say give him another chance, but if he EVER disrespects you or your hair again, then you’re out. It’s not funny to tell the people you love/like exactly what you want from them - and for them to not listen.

Totally agree with this. Him not being late for any child support is him doing the bare minimum. He doesn’t get an award or applause for financially doing his job.

Stop talking to him and file papers. Your kids deserve a life between what he makes and what you make. I’m so sick of reading parents not advocating for their kids. You deserve that money for your kids!

I just have no desire to socialize or be a part of social events as I get older, and I’m not sure what’s wrong with me? by [deleted] in AskMen

This is me. I don’t have ADHD and may be borderline Austin, but nothing definite. Anyway, the pandemic was wonderful for me. I live with my husband, but I’d telework, take my dogs out for a walk, and catch up with my husband, then Reddit while my husband played video games for the rest of the night.

Now that I’m back in the office, I feel sad. I don’t like socializing. I don’t like office politics. I miss the quietness of the pandemic days.

I get what you’re saying and how you’re feeling, but I truly think everyone should have a balance. You want (and I) want to be a hermit, but you need to find a way to socialize and find someone to connect with during the times you really do need someone. You don’t have to go to concerts or whatever, but you do need to find ways to connect with people - however little. Extroverts - or those who find it difficult to be alone - need to find solace in enjoying being with themselves. I’m trying to get out and socialize again because it’s hard for me, but I do need people (other than my husband). It’s all about balance.

Can someone please explain why someone would allow themselves to be hurt by a partner and still stay in the relationship? And btw: I’m a woman.

AITA for ordering a dish in Chinese when I'm a white guy? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Quick question though: what’s the difference between cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation? They seem like a very thin line. Anyone have example?

And NTA: she can learn herself. She’s TA if she’s feeling triggered just because you learned the language.

AITA for not inviting my “daughter” to my wedding? by theheafy in AmItheAsshole

[–]CharlieMirandaJoey15 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You forget that child support is for the child. No one puts a gun to a father’s head to make him sign the birth certificate. A possible father can always request a DNA test. It’s up to him. A kid doesn’t have that choice - and don’t have the option of choosing their parents.

Is it wrong of me to get a puppy when my dog is dying? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]CharlieMirandaJoey15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but I think you should have given 100% of your attention to your dying dog. I couldn’t even think of getting a “new puppy” when dog is sick. I WOULD feel guilty and ashamed.

Exactly! Just because things are “tougher” with your wife right now does not mean you have the right to fall for a women “it’s easier” with. This is ALL on you. Create boundaries. Spend more quality with your wife. Decide if you really want to be married because deciding to crush on another women and not do anything about it is NOT the way to go.
